My opinion on the tests taken
We've done these tests to get an idea of the profession, they say, more suited to our personality. In my case, the overall tests went against my expectations.
The first test which is about work style preferences, says that I am innovative, methodical and social, among others, I agree with the first two which is a bit a contradiction, because I like to innovate, I like to solve problems trying new things and I also like to create new uses for things, but in other hand in problems or affairs that I can't commit any error I like to be methodical and do the things the best way possible, maintaining a certain pattern of work nd following the "instructions" that will make me solve the issue. With the third result I don't agree completely becaus I'm not a social person, I like to help people and make them feel happy, but I don't see myself as a social person.
The second test, the multiple intelligences test, is about the areas of knowledge that we will do better, the tree areas in wich I had best results were naturalistis, intrapersonal and kinaesthetic, wich I agree mostely, I love nature and everything that has to do with nature like animals plants and I love to know how life is formed and how it works, I also like sports, I am a very active person, I like sports a lot especially team sports, i've practiced soccer, volleyball and gymnastics and so it is very easy to me learn new sports. As to the intrapersonal I agree with everything except with the part that says that I like to mix with other people because I don't like to being around lots of people.
The trird test, the skills inventory worksheet, tells us the jobs that suit our characteristics the best. All results have to do with health except physicists but I think this test describes me because those are the areas that I woul dlike to work however veterinarian is my dream since I remember, because I always loved animals and wanted to help them.
The fourth and last test is the career clusters interest survey and this test as the others poits to the area of health and science, wich I agree but the one that I desgree more is the Human services that came in third from what I read in the discription that is something that I definitly wouldn't like to do for the reasons I've said earlier.
So the overall result was pleasing to me and was what i was expecting. I think that this tests were useful for me because they gave me more certain of the area I want to go.
I expected to see more things related to sport in the Guilherme's test results, because I consider him a really sporty person. But with all the interest shown by parrots and dogs, I think he would be an excellent veterinarian. Catarina Martins
I agree with your second test, because I know that you like animals and plants, for some reason you are very good at biology! So I imagine you like a biologist or like Catarina said a veterinarian, but I think biologist describes you completely. I think you also have many skills in the area of language, because you have such facility for example in English and Portuguese. In finally, sports! Seems to me that you are very good in sport, mainly in volleyball that you gives a scratch to everyone. So I think you will be a biologist, translator or physical education teacher.

I don't know Guilherme but I realized that the results are according to what he likes. All the professions that he mentioned are very interesting and he seems to be a smart person in different areas, what are surprising! I wish you the best in your future. Bete F
From all the top 5 professions of the third test I also agree that the one that suit him the best is veterinarian, because from what I know about him so far, he is a animals lover (mainly birds, i don't know why...) and I thing he would be great taking care of them. Rita Pereira
